Maimonides worshipped here, and as one stands where he once stood one can feel transported back through history, when three cultures, Christian, Jew and Muslim, lived together in perfect harmony.

The Sinagoga is a very small site, with a courtyard and two small rooms. There is some ancient Hebrew script that is preserved from the 14th century. There were Moorish arches and other carvings. The statue of Maimonides is a short walk away as is a new Sephardic center. No fee.

This loveingly restored Mudejar style synagog is a beautiful rem ant of the Jewish quarter. Other things happened in 1492 than the discovery of the Americas.

The sinagoga is very small and doesn't take long to visit it. It has a definite place in the history of Jews in Spain. It is not in use.

There is not as much to see in this synogogue as compared to the one in Toledo but to get the full experience you should make a visit. When we went only the building to the right was open (main prayer area). The upper floor which contained the women's prayer area was closed. The building to the left was in... More

Just a four walls with some religious belief but very closterfobic. Remind me the room in the old mental hospital where disturbed patient was sent to be confined.

Although it is little and was just remodelled prior to year 1992, the Sinagogue was one of the most important ones until the XVI century and the only one of the existing 200 at the time that has survived.

This tiny part of history is tucked away in a narrow street in the Juderia, the old Jewish Quarter just behind the Mesquita. This was the Cordoba mosque until the Jews were expelled many centuries ago, yet it stands, small but very beautifully decorated. The atmosphere here can be wonderful if there are very few visitors, but it is too... More

Worth a look in if wandering through the Jewish quarter because synagogues are rare in Spain, following the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. The street it's on has a few interesting little jewellery shops.
